When it comes to processing dynamics in the mastering stage, nothing comes close to the Weiss DS1-MK3 for clarity, control, and sheer sound-quality. That’s why it’s in all the world’s best mastering studios. Softube code-ported the original digital hardware, for an identically wonderful sound, in plugin form.

The quicker, easier, and no-less-great-sounding offspring of the DS1-MK3, the Weiss Mastering Maximizer distils the algorithms of the big unit into 5 carefully designed mastering styles; transparent, loud, punch, wide, and deess. Get your mix sounding just right, then push the gain into the beautiful Weiss limiter.

The S73 does most of the tricky job of multi-band compression for you, by making the choices a mastering engineer would make. Simply use the Style parameter to quickly find the sound that suits your mix the best, use the amount knob to find the right intensity, add air, and then start shopping for yachts.

In making a plugin version of the revered DS1-MK3, Softube saw an opportunity to bring it to new audiences. In the DAW you can do a lot of stuff you can’t do in hardware, like splitting off the de-essing functionality into its own hyper-focused and modern plugin. Two bands, adjustable filters, ratios, ranges… The Weiss Deess is the ultimate de-esser.

The final player in the Weiss plugin collection is the Compressor/Limiter. Ideal for broad or split-band compression with the incomparably true, clear sound of the Weiss DS1-MK3. Hiding the expert functions in a side-menu means these mega-sophisticated digital compression and limiting algorithms are accessible like never before.
